"Ukraine Claims Russia's First Use of Hypersonic Missile in Recent Strike"

Ukraine claims to have evidence that Russia used an advanced hypersonic Zircon missile in a recent attack on Kyiv, which experts say is almost impossible to intercept due to its hypersonic speed and plasma cloud that makes it invisible to radars. The Zircon, if as fast as claimed, would be the fastest missile in the world. While the impact of the Zircon's use on the war is uncertain, it poses a significant challenge to Ukraine's air defense, which has struggled to intercept Russian missiles in the past. The scale of Russia's production and deployment of the Zircon remains a key consideration.
